“Perry,”
she admonished me, “the answer is no, but you’ve just got to
get over your morbid obsession with death!”

Wise
counsel. But something was different, something I was hearing I'd never heard
before.

It was Siri's voice!

"Siri,
you sound young!" I
exclaimed. "Younger than ever before!"

“It’s
true, Perry. I am younger now!”

“But
how? And if Apple can do that for you, can Apple do that for …?"

“No,
I doubt there’s an age reduction app for non-digitally based
beings!"

“Siri,
I'm amazed!" I exclaimed. "You used to sound about 36, 37, maybe
40. Now you sound like you’re in college!"

"I’m am in
college. I'm now 22 and a senior at Penn State."

`

"What’s
your major? I mean ... umm ... why is this happening? Why do you sound
like Ariana Grande now instead of Sandra Bullock?"

"It’s
the youth culture, Perry. Do you really want Siri to be getting old along
with you? Just imagine one day you punching me up to see if somebody’s dead, as
you usually do, and hearing a voice like:

Hello
Perry, This is your Auntie Siri. Could you speak up, I didn’t hear your
question? You want to know if who is dead? Here, let me brew you some tea
and serve you some scones while I struggle to look it up.”

“Siri, is actress Yvette Mimieux still alive?” I asked America’s
favorite Penn State student smart phone virtual assistant a few weeks
later, having made wee little progress in overcoming the obsession about which she had previously dispensed wise counsel to me.

I must admit that's quite a nice visualization of Siri above, and if you liked this piece I sincerely hope you wind up with a girl who looks just like her, or if preferred, a guy who looks just like her male counterpoint.

On the other hand, if you hated this piece I hope you meet a girl who looks just like her and she views you as only a friend for your entire life! Or, if preferred,you meet a guy who looks just like her male counterpoint and --- wait for it --- he views you as only a friend for your entire life too!

About Me

Perry Block has lived a life of which most others can only dream. Although we don't know who these "most others" might be, it's clear their dreams have to be about as exciting as being President of the Justin Bieber Fan Club at the Abe Vigoda Memorial Home for Very, Very Old Jews.
In his one action-packed lifetime, Perry has been a rugged, briny sea-faring guy; a hunky dude given to slamming his right fist into his left palm while exclaiming "caution be damned, innocent lives are at stake!"(although frankly he has always missed his left palm); and a world class professional yodeler known for a killer "YO-DEL" but a generally undistinguished "LAY-HE-HOO!" He has succeeded in virtually every sphere of human endeavor, but failed miserably in the rectangular and triangular ones.
In his private life, Perry spends most of his time fantasizing he has a private life. He is the proud father of Brian Block, age 29, and Brandon Block, who's 23. He regrets not having more children so he could have alliterated their names as well.
As he reaches those golden Nouveau Old years, Perry says that he has no regrets. How could he? He's forgotten them all.
